🏡 How to Choose the Perfect Carpet or Flooring for Your Bristol Home

Choosing new carpets or flooring in Bristol can feel like a big decision — with so many styles, materials, and prices to consider. Whether you’re renovating a period townhouse in Clifton, modernising a flat in Bedminster, or updating an office in Filton, the right flooring will transform your space.

At Bristol Carpet Factory, we’ve helped hundreds of local customers find the perfect carpet and flooring to match their homes, lifestyles, and budgets. Here’s our expert step-by-step guide.

Step 1: Measure Your Space

Before you fall in love with a design, measure your rooms accurately.
Use a tape measure to record:

• The length and width of each area (in metres)

• Any alcoves or recesses

• Doorways and thresholds where one floor type meets another

💡 Tip: We offer a free home measuring service across Bristol, ensuring your quote is 100% accurate before ordering.

Step 2: Choose Between Carpet and Hard Flooring

Carpet – Warmth & Comfort

Carpets are ideal for bedrooms, lounges, and family spaces.
Popular Bristol carpet options include:

• Twist pile carpets – durable and great for busy homes

• Saxony carpets – soft and luxurious underfoot

• Wool carpets – natural, eco-friendly, and long-lasting

Hard Flooring – Style & Practicality

If you prefer a sleek, modern look or have pets, hard flooring may be best.
Popular Bristol flooring choices include:

• Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) – realistic wood or stone effect, waterproof, and easy to clean

• Laminate flooring – affordable and versatile

• Engineered wood – natural warmth with added durability

Step 3: Think About Your Lifestyle

Consider how you use each room:

• Busy family home? Choose durable, stain-resistant flooring.

• Pet owners? Go for easy-clean vinyl or short-pile carpets.

• Allergies? Hypoallergenic, low-pile carpets or smooth vinyl surfaces are ideal.

• Rental property? Budget-friendly, long-lasting options are best.

Step 4: Match Your Interior Style

Your flooring sets the tone of your home.

• For period Bristol homes, try wool carpets or parquet-style LVT.

• For modern apartments, sleek grey tones and textured flooring work well.

• For commercial spaces, durable carpet tiles offer practicality and design flexibility.

🪄 Design tip: Bring fabric samples or wall colours to our showroom — our experts can help match tones and textures perfectly.

Step 5: Choose Professional Installation

Even the best flooring won’t perform properly if fitted incorrectly.
Our Bristol carpet fitters and flooring installers ensure:

• Perfect alignment and joins

• Proper underlay and subfloor preparation

• Long-lasting, professional finish

We handle everything — from removing your old flooring to installing your new one with care and precision.

Step 6: Care for Your New Floor

Keep your new carpet or flooring looking its best:

• Vacuum regularly

• Clean spills quickly

• Use doormats to reduce dirt

• Follow manufacturer care instructions

• Arrange professional cleaning every 12–18 months
